<p>“Members of my family gone so far as to bribe me with a house and a car of my own in the Philippines; luxuries I am sure I will not see in my possession for quite some time if I stay here.”</p>
<p>The same thing happened to me when my mum said that they’ll afford me all these things and put some money aside to get a master degree abroad. I could either graduate free of debt and go to some nice school in Europe to get masters (probably no debt as well) or go to the States, graduate 20k dollars in debt and go to some masters school and be indebted as well. It’s a difficult decision, especially when you are an only child and pressure from your parents (or should I say my mum) is big. I’m really torn :S</p>
<p>Good luck ravenclaw, hope everything works out eventually.</p>
